isaiah 56:2

It is hard to hold fast to something without ruining it—without suffocating the life out of it—without smothering it’s fire.
It is difficult to keep something and at the same time maintain its separateness—it’s holiness—it’s divinity.
It is hard to love righteousness without becoming self-righteous.
“Blessed is the one who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it.”
